Drawn in Black

“Brutality” by Jeremy Fish

Known for his skulls and silly pink bunnies, Jeremy Fish is a skateboarder and enterprising illustrator living in San Francisco. His work is funny and odd: a surreal blend of tattoo and graffiti imagery.  Beside skateboards, t-shirts, hoodies, and ashtrays, Fish has also designed a Nike sneaker, painted a room of the Hotel Des Artes in San Francisco, and designed an album cover for Aesop Rock.  His clothing line is superFishal.

For t-shirts by Fish check out Umbrella Market and let me know if you can find an XL “Brutality” tee anywhere – it seems to be all sold out, argh.

Looking at the drawings Phillip Rauschkolb has posted on his sketch blog, it’s easy to see that he’s way into comics.  Currently working at an ad agency in Portland, Oregon, his true calling is the comics industry.  He’s working on his own comic book, and by the looks of it, I’d say he’s well on his way to becoming a great comic book artist.

Denny Smith, whom I posted about last week, pointed me to old-time friend of his, Rick Tulka. It turns out Rick is a contributor to one of my all-time favorite ‘toon rags, Mad Magazine. Rick’s site is chock full of fantastic caricatures and other works of his.

I feel this drawing perfectly displays Niko Henrichon’s ability to draw both compelling comic characters as well as bring to life vivid fantasies.

The British Ryan de Haff self-proclaimed “wannabe freelance illustrator” is pretty talented and has some good stuff on his site. You can find even more goodies on his blog.
